Heco Idler Pinion

Idler Pinion Gear for Heco Lift System

This is the replacement Idler Pinion Gear for the Heco lift system, a key component in the system's synchronization linkage. As shown in the diagram, this is part #12 (Part No. U-375). It is responsible for smoothly transmitting motion between the front and rear torsion bars, ensuring both ends of the camper lift in sync.

This gear is essential for keeping the lift system timed correctly. If the teeth on your original idler pinion are stripped, chipped, or worn, you may experience loud grinding noises, or the system may jam, skip, or lift unevenly. Replacing a damaged idler pinion is crucial for restoring smooth and synchronized operation.

Key Features:

• Diagram Reference: The exact replacement for part #12 (IDLER PINION) on the Heco system diagram.
• Synchronizes Lift Motion: A critical gear for the system's timing and power transfer.
• Hardened Steel Teeth: Precision-cut and hardened to resist stripping and wear.
• Restores Smooth Operation: Eliminates skipping and grinding from a damaged gear.
• Sold Individually: The price listed is for one idler pinion.

Maintenance Tip: When replacing this gear, carefully inspect the teeth of the connecting components (such as the torsion bars) for any corresponding damage. A worn pinion can sometimes be a sign of a larger alignment issue.
